TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE
This morning at five o'clock, the Green Mountain Restaurant caught on fire. Nobody noticed the fire until six o'clock, when the house next door started to burn. Firefighters came from all over the area. They began to fight the fire at seven o'clock. Now it's eight o'clock, and
the fire is still going strong. The firefighters are working hard, but they haven't brought the blaze under control yet. Every few minutes they call for more help.
Fire Chief Brown says that in another hour they'll have put out the fire in the house. At that time, the house will have been burning for three hours. Half the house will be gone. Chief Brown is afraid that the fire in the restaurant may go on until ten o'clock. Before it's out, the restaurant will have been blazing for five hours. Every few minutes, part of the building falls in.
Firefighters will have been fighting the fire in the restaurant for three hours. They'll have been pumping water out of Green Mountain Lake to put out the fire. They'll have been holding their hoses on the fire the whole time. However, the fire will have been burning too long. By the time the fire is under control, nothing will remain of the restaurant.

MY LYCEUM
There are more than nine thousand primary schools, secondary schools, vocational colleges and academic lyceums in Uzbekistan. Education is free in all of them. The right to education is guaranteed by our constitution. Pupils spend the most important years of their lives in school.
I study at the Lyceum of Oriental Languages. It is far from my house. My lyceum is a modern three story building of typical design. In front of the lyceum there is a small, beautiful garden with flowers of various colours and green trees. Behind the school there is a big sports field. There, pupils have classes in physical training when the weather is good. They also hold different festivities there.
When you enter the lyceum, you can see the director's office on the left side of the corridor. On the right upstairs there is a large gymnasium, a cloakroom and a big cafeteria. Schoolchildren hold meetings there. On the left upstairs there are classrooms and laboratories. On the walls of the corridors you can see portraits of famous scientists, writers and outstanding people of our country. There are also sayings and proverbs in Uzbek, English and different oriental languages,such as English, Indian, Arabic, Turkish, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Urdu and Farsi. There are light curtains on the windows and many flowers on the window sills.
Entering a classroom, you'll find three rows of neat desks, a teacher's desk, a blackboard and a bookcase. You'll also see different pictures, diagrams and posters on the wall, depending on what subject is taught there. We are proud that our rooms are equipped with tape-recorders, TV sets and other necessary equipment.
During our years of study we learn a lot about physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology, history, geography, Uzbek, Russian, English and oriental languages. In addition, our teachers teach us to love our motherland and to be honest and hardworking.
Life in our lyceum is very interesting. There are a lot of circles in different subjects. There is also a scholars' society in our lyceum. In this society pupils work on a theme that they have chosen and defend their work at the society.
I like my school very much and I hope that one day I'll return there as a teacher.
